Woodland's 49th Annual Holiday Parade will take place this year beginning at 10 a.m., Saturday.

Themed "Dashing through the snow," the parade is put on by the Woodland Chamber of Commerce and is funded by community donations and sponsorships.

The Woodland tree lighting, which was canceled Friday, was rescheduled for Friday.

"Our parade has a proud heritage," said Chamber CEO Kristy Wright. "For 49 years it has been showcasing entries through a quality venue with a strong focus on excellence in parading. It really is a 'miracle on Main Street.'"

Woodland's parade is thought to be one of the largest in the state and has a great representation of novelty entries, corporate floats, bands, horse entries, scout units, military and ROTC units, California Shriners, dance and majorette groups.

New this year will be the addition of food trucks that converge at Elm Ford's car lot on Main Street, which will be cleared for the event.

Papa Dale's Drivin' Diner, "a fancy mobile diner," is one. According to Amy Breedlove, who owns the company with her chef husband Keith Breedlove, they serve comfort food with a modern twist.

"It will remind you of your mom's cooking," she said. "We use modern cooking techniques to enhance flavors and make healthier comfort food from scratch. We're excited to come to Woodland because we've been downtown for an event and we got a great response from the city from the people and it's a new area we'd like to start vending in."

Known for their mac and cheese, other popular items include brisket and pork.

"Culinerd" Keith is influenced by early years spent grilling on the patio with his grandpa Papa Dale in rural Nipomo, after whom the mobile diner is named. Papa Dale's aims to bring those flavors and memories to life.

Keith has a plethora of chef experience, including acting as the corporate executive chef for culinary big-wig Guy Fieri's Tex Wasabi and Johnny Garlic restaurants, the executive chef and cookbook contributor for Nordstrom Cafe Bistro and executive chef for Hilton Hotels.

Keith was also a guest chef on Fieri's "Big Backyard Bite."

Throughout December, four restaurants will be hosting "reindeer" drinks, of which a portion of the proceeds will go toward supporting the parade. Mojo's Lounge will serve "Vixen," Maria's Cantina "Blitzen," Burger Saloon "Comet" and Paco's "Rudolph."
